Don't check the ScalarType and Backend of arguments in VariableType. Instead, only check that arguments are Variables of any type. The precise type checks are handled by the base type. Many of our functions take heterogeneous types. There isn't enough information in Declarations.yaml to ensure the precise types of arguments in VariableType, which makes it difficult to add new methods.
